Cognitive therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are both psychotherapy techniques used to help people deal with difficult situations or mental illnesses. The main difference between the two therapies is that while both target negative or unhealthy mental processes, CBT also helps people learn healthy and beneficial behaviors. Both types of therapy have been shown to be effective in helping people learn how to deal with difficult situations or mental illnesses. They can also be effective at helping people through difficult situations, such as relationship troubles or grief. Cognitive behavioral therapy has been proven often to be helpful in treating perfectionism. For example, a perfectionist may think “people won’t like me if I fail” and a therapist will help him or her examine that thought and change it to a more positive and realistic one. Perfectionism is a tendency to set unreasonably high standards and to measure an individual’s worth in terms of their ability to meet these standards. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people with perfectionism realize that perfection is not the end goal of each
